Si sa nulla sull'eventuale presenza anche di Ian Bell? Sarebbe magnifico rivederli entrambi all'opera su questo nuovo titolo.

E se se ne escono che Elite 4 è un MMOG? Che succede? Fra questo e Speedball 2 si può dire addio a qualsiasi forma di vita sociale?

Edit: ok, l'addio alla riallaif è definitivo, ho trovato questa intervista a Braben su Gamespot, datata 22 novembre 2006.
GSUK: So, first things first. Are we ever going to see Elite 4?
DB: Well, we started it in 2000--and we stopped it in 2000. The reason was, we started it as a MMORPG, and the technology at the time for connectivity was rubbish. It had been oversold by the providers. We realised very quickly that what we wanted to do would overload the system and that we would end up taking the blame for the failings of the telecommunications industry. It was put on hold after that. Now we've decided to do two projects: One will be a single-player game,
and the other will be the massively multiplayer online role-playing game. We will do Elite 4 after Outsider, so it will benefit from everything we've done in Outsider. In Elite, you were a spaceship, to move on to be a person, so many other things have to happen. Apologies for it taking so long, and I really mean that, but it's a game dear to my heart, and I don't want to do it badly.
Addio!
